FOOD FRAUDS.
The Shameful Use of Lime and
Alum IN Cheap Baking Pow
ders.

Many food frauds, such as chicory cof-
fee or watersd milk, although they are q
swindle in commercial sense, are often
tolerated because they do not particularly
affect the health of the consumer; but
when an article like baking powder, that
enters largely into the food OF every
family, and is relied upon for the prepa-
ration of almost every meal, is so made as
to carry highly injurious, if not rankly
poisonous, elements into the bread, the
entire community is endangered, and 1t
is the duty of the press TO denounce the
practice in the most emphatic terms
Among the important discoveries by the
food analysis is that by Prof. Mott, the
United States government chemist, of
large amounts of lime and alum in the
cheap baking powders. These are, one
the most dangerous, and the other the
most useless adulterant yet found in the
low grade, inferior baking powders.
It is startling fact that of the many
brands of baking powders go far ana
lyzed, none of them, with the single ex-
ception of the Royal Baking Powder, was
found free from both lime and alum. The
chief service of lime is to add weight. 1t
is true that lime, when subjected to heat,
gives off a certain amount of carbonic
acid gas but quick-lime is left-a caus-
tic so powerful that it is used by tanners
to eat the hair from the hides of animals,
and in dissecting rooms to more quickly
rot the flesh from the bones of dead sub
jects. A email quantity of dry lime Upon
the tongue, or in tho eye, produces pain
full effects; how much more serious must
OF In tho 1ali0ata
branes of the stomach, lntestines and kid
neys, more particularly of infants and
children, and especially when the lime is
taken into the system day after day, and
with almost every meal. This is said by
physicians to be one of the causes OF in
digestion, dyspepsia and those painful
diseases of the kidneys now so prevalent,
Instances of the most serious affections
of the latter organs from drinking lime
water found in some sections are noted In
every medical journal.
Adulteration with lime is quite as much
to be dreaded as with alum, which has
heretofore received the most emphatic
condemnation from every food analyst,
physician and chemist, for the reason
that, while alum is probably partially dis
solved and passed off in gas by the heat
of bakiups il is impossible to change the
nature of the lime in any degree, so that
the entire amount in the baking powder
passes, with all its injurious properties,
into the stomach. When we state that
the chemists have found IL per cent, or
one-eighth of the entire weights of some
samples of baking powders analysed, to
be lime the wickedness of the adulteration
will be apparent.
Pure baking powders are one of the
chief aids to the cook in preparing per-
feet and wholesome food. While those
are TO be obtained of well established rep
utstion, like the Royal, of whose purity
there never has been question, 1t is
proper to avoid all Others.

Enioy Life.

What truly beautiful world we live in!
Nature gives US grandeur of mountains,
glens and oceans, and thousands of means
of enjoyment. We can desire no better
when in perfect health; but how often do
the majority of people feel like giving it up,
disheartened, discouraged and worn out
with disease, when there is no occasion for
this feeling, as every sufferer can easily
obtain satisfactory proof, that Green's
August Flower will make them free from
disease, as when born. Dyspepsia and
liver complaint are the direct causes of
rs per cent of such maladies as bilious
ness, indigestion, sick headache, costive-
ness, nervous prostration, dizziness of the
head, palpitation of the heart, and other
distressing symptoms. Three doses of
August Flower will prove its wonderful
effect. Sample bottles, 10 cents. Try it.

The Associated Press dispatch received
from Washington and published yester-
day regarding Mai. D. N. Bash was mis-.
leading, for the reason that it gave the
impression that the major was relieved
from duty by the secretary of war because
of the recent robbery at Antelope Springs.
As a matter of fact, Maj. Bash was re-
leved from duty upon his own applica-
ton. He is DESTROYS of making some ar
rangement with the government regard
ing the payment of the lost 81, $50. 90 and
while on duty as paymaster is so much on
the road that he cannot give the matter
proper attention. He therefore asked to
be relieved SO that he might go East and
attend to the matter personally.
In this connection it is only simple JUS
tice to add that the escort furnished Mai.
Bash, on the occasion of the robbery, was
utterly incompetent to perform their
duties and strange to say were simply
armed with revolvers.

THE STREET RAILWAY.
The Rolling Stock to be Manufactured In
Cheyenne.

The Cheyenne Carriage ompany has
been awarded a contract to manufacture
four cars for the street railway company.
The cars will cost 81, 900 each. One will
be delivered Oct. l, and the remaining
three a month later.
The Carriage company guarantees 10
furnish cars fully equal to those manufac-
tured by the Denver firm regularly en-
gagged in the business of building street
railway rolling stock.
A supply firm in the East will furnish
the castings, running gear, stained glass,
ETC., the home company securing the
wood and wrought iron, and finishing the
cars.
A number Of citizens have remarked
that the curves made by the street rail-
way are altogether too large, and that
track should not be laid in such close
proximity to the corners, thereby materi-
ally interfering with driving.
The amended right of way ordinance
has not yet been signed by the mayor,
but probably will be after being altered
at the council meeting next Tuesday
night.
Work was stopped on the road yester-
day afternoon on account Of the rain.
Track is laid on Ferguson street about

Mccarthy, the Great California Hore-

or manners and is a very agreeable gentle.

but explained that the boys at Sara,
toga had ''caved her in" When ap,
preached by a LEADER representative Mr.
Mccarthy was ready as ever to talk horse
and said: There are fifteen colts in thai
car and they cost about $lS, 900. There
are nine unner two single. footers, and
the remainder are trotting animals,
bought the most of them at the recent
Lorillard sale at Monmouth Park. They
have no names or records A 4-year old
sorrel has trotted in 1922 and will develop
into a wonder. The animal is a half
brother to st Julien, who is no good on
earth.
II don't own any very great horses
myself" continued Mccarthy, after re.
lighting his cigar, but my boy there,
Dan Jr., is the owner of the greatest
piece of horse flesh in the United States

Just about two years ago, when the
lad was only 10, he fell in love with a
young gelding a fellow rode past the
ranch one day, and traded two Shetland
ponies, worth sos, for the horse. The
